Dexter

I wanted to write a blog about another show I have been watching. So, here it is! I have also been watching the show named Dexter. It's about a man named Dexter who is a blood splatter analyst by day for Miami Metro Police Department, and crazy smart serial killer who kills other serial killers by night. Before ever watching the show I thought it sounded like one of the stupidest shows ever. But when I watched the first couple of episodes I couldn't stop watching the show.

Anyways, this show is elaborate, creative, and creepy. I noticed that as the seasons progress Dexter seems to get more and more... sane. In the first season, Dexter keeps to himself and when he reacts with other people he sounds very very awkward. But as the season progresses and with each new season he seems to get more and more witty and it makes it fun to watch and observe, because if he maintained his awkward ways he would be just like Keanu Reves (no idea how to spell his name...terrible emotionless actor though).

Dexter also has a sister in the show, Deb. The actress is the chick from the Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Deb is the extremely foul mouthed privacy isn't an option bad ass detective sister. One thing that is also constant (or at least so far) with Deb's life in the show is that she always gets into relationships with people that have to go REALLY bad. like REALLLY BAD. I can't say what exactly is bad about them because, well, you have to watch the show and find out!

But there's only one problem with the show.... Even though this is a fictitious show, it follows realistic trends. For example, they solve crimes with forensics and some intuition and chases etc. And there's no paranormal forces helping or hurting yadda yadda yadda. What I can't get my head around is..... Is it even possible to have that many serial killers concentrated in one city....and also over the course of, let's say 4 years? I mean any serial killer that have been known are part of history and I don't think they had serial killers back to back occurrences within a couple of years with each other. I may be completely wrong and police departments and the FBI might not publicize it for our own well-being, and so we don't live in a constant state of fear, but come on. WAYY too many serial killers, and if it is realistic at all, I'm never going to Miami then.
